Can a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Kentucky Help Me?

At the Shelton Law Group, our Motorcycle accident lawyers in Kentucky understand how important this question is to bikers who have been injured and families who have lost loved ones in accidents. That’s because motorcycle accidents can have devastating consequences. Rarely is a motorcycle accident minor. Crashes between motorcycles and larger vehicles often result in catastrophic, potentially life-threatening injuries. The insurance company for the at-fault driver might try to deny compensation or get victims to give up their rights and accept an unreasonably low settlement.

To help you make informed decisions, we recommend you read the following questions and answers about Kentucky motorcycle accidents. If you don’t see your question below, don’t hesitate to contact our Louisville office today at (888) 761-7204.

Oftentimes insurance companies put pressure on accident victims to fill out these forms fast. Don’t let them rush you. Take your time. We can help you.

Should I accept an offer from an insurance company after a motorcycle accident?

No. Insurance companies often make offers to injury victims soon after a motorcycle crash. They do this regardless of who’s at fault and because they know injury victims want to resolve their case as soon as possible. This means that insurance companies will likely offer accident victims a “low-ball” settlement that might not cover the true cost of an accident. As a result, motorcycle accident victims might end up with less money than they rightfully deserve for medical bills, lost wages, property damage and other expenses.
